[quote=Anonymous]Is it ok to limit how much our au pair eats "treats"?  For example, we do have some pop in the house but for us, it's only an occasional treat, like when we order pizza every couple weeks,  and even more rare for the children.  She has one with lunch and one with dinner, so the case that would last our family a month before she came lasts a week and we never even had any.  Another example: we buy a box of donuts and  pre-Au pair, they would last a week.  She will eat them for breakfast every morning and sometimes as a snack or after lunch as well.  We buy a bag of chips and she eats them all before we even think of having any.  We have had a large bag of m&ms in our pantry for a month and had only eaten about a quarter of it.  It was gone in a week after she found them.  You can see we are not a "healthy food only" house, but I am shocked by HOW MUCH junk food she eats and how fast.  And it's annoying because I feel like if want to have any around for the times when we want it, we have to hide it from her.  If its there, she eats it...FAST.  Also, it's expensive to replace it that fast.  Finally, I feel like its a bad example for the kids to eat so much junk, but feel hypocritical saying anything because we did, after all, buy it in the first place.  Advice?  [/quote]
